My Space Digbot 1 was designed for two purposes: to dig regolith and move it from place to place. Operating on solar energy, in front there are razor blades that can move up and down while rotating 360 degrees. On the opposite side, there is a bucket (ladle) that can move soil around. This ladle can close 360 degrees and move soil to another place as a container. To mitigate dust, I recommend using electron beam technology in forms of poles or/and brush platforms. Because it is hard for astronauts to move and bend down, a hand version of a brush will help them remove dust from their space suites and other equipment.
